The closer you get, the stronger the smell becomes.
In addition to ten times the concentration of the smell of a zoo under the scorching sun, what is more, it is a very strong smell of blood and decay.
Lin Mengya's sense of smell was so sensitive that it was almost useless now, but she still walked over and saw the condition of those people with her own eyes.
Long Tianyu and Le Zhengzitan did not kill the adult savages, but temporarily made them lose the power to resist.
This group of people was just like the little girl she saw before. Even though she couldn't move her hands and feet and was lying on the ground, she was still roaring at them vigorously.
They seem to have lost the ability to speak, and all actions are based on beast-like instincts.
Behind them, an old savage with long white hair tremblingly protected his four furry little heads.
They looked to be only two or three years old, with pairs of black eyes staring at this group of powerful "enemies" full of fear.
The old savage raised his head tremblingly and looked at them with a pleading look on his face.
The two parties didn't understand each other's language, but everyone could see that the old savage was begging them not to hurt her tribe.
"Damn! What the hell is going on?"
Lezheng Zitan's face became increasingly ugly.
As the second son of the Yue Zheng family, although he and his brother had lived a difficult time in the past, they did not completely degenerate into beasts like this group of people.
Could it be that he is really the descendant of some kind of mandrill?
So where is this mandrill? He must find it and cut off its roots completely so that it can no longer harm girls from good families!
But after Lin Mengya observed it for a moment, she said something to the old savage.
It's still the ancient dialect that calmed down the little savages before. It roughly means, "Who are you? Why are you here?"
The old savage's expression paused, then he danced excitedly, and then kept repeating some words.
Lin Mengya heard the other party replying to her in dialect, as if "We are descendants, please, don't tell others."
It took her several times to understand the meaning of this sentence.
"Second Young Master," she suddenly turned to Lezheng Zitan, "do you know Xu Guangcheng? Or Xu Guangcheng, in short, that's the name of the sound."
When Lezheng Zitan was asked like this, his mind paused and he subconsciously wanted to shake his head. Then he thought of something.
"I have never heard of these two names, but I remember a man named Xu Guancheng. However, this Xu family disappeared decades ago, you"
The rest of the words were swallowed back into his stomach urgently.
he looked in disbelief
He looked at the savages, then looked at Lin Mengya.
"Is it possible that they are related to the Xu family?"
"I'm afraid that's the case. This old lady keeps repeating this name. She said that they may be the descendants of Xu Guancheng and hopes that we can let them go."
Lezheng Zitan's emotions were a little complicated, "Then how did they end up like this? Are they really mandrills?"
Lin Mengya said, "We're not sure yet, but as you can see, it doesn't look like there are any mandrills here."
Perhaps after hearing the familiar tone, the old savage was no longer as panicked as before under Lin Mengya's repeated comfort.
In addition to this sentence, she seemed to remember other languages, but she probably hadn't used them for a long time, so she seemed very unfamiliar.
Lin Mengya asked Long Tianyu and Le Zhengzitan, two people who seemed to be extremely threatening, to temporarily retreat, and then went to communicate with the old lady in person.
After repeatedly ensuring that she was not hostile, Lin Mengya originally wanted to reach out to check the old lady's body. However, as soon as she stretched out her hand, the old lady didn't know what to think and handed her a cub.
Lin Mengya's arm went stiff, and she looked into the little guy's bright black eyes for a moment, then took it back and held the smelly little guy in her arms.
"He's still a pretty healthy little guy. Open his mouth and show his teeth to Auntie."
It's probably because she always has a calming medicinal scent on her body. The little guy twitches his little nose and seems to be quite easy to get along with.
Following her example, he opened his white teeth towards her. Lin Mengya checked and found that this little guy's baby teeth were also pointed.
She touched it gently and found it was quite hard!
It seems that this group of people has completely regressed to a primitive state. Probably after the child's lactation period ends, they will learn to use their teeth to bite prey.
At the same time, she also discovered that the hair on this child's body was relatively strong. Except for the relatively small body hair on the small face, the rest of the body was covered with a layer of furry body hair.
This reminded her of two words - furry child.
Perhaps, like the little girl with a tail, they have some atavism in their bodies.
"Master, do you want me to come and hug you?" Han Ye frowned as he watched.
The child was dirty and might have fleas and other bugs on it, so he was a little worried for the owner to hold him like this.
"It's okay, go and ask someone to help me take it.
Bring back some towels, just the ones we brought, hurry up." She ordered.
Han Ye immediately went to get ready, and just like that, Lin Mengya took the four children from the old lady's hands one after another.
In any group, cubs are always given preferential treatment.
When the ten adults saw this scene, they all stared at her hands nervously, for fear that she would hurt the four children.
Of these four little savages, three are boys and only one is a girl.
And there are more or less abnormalities in them.
Even in modern times, the occurrence of this atavism is uncontrollable. In fact, many scientists have made some quite interesting conjectures, but the ultimate cause of this phenomenon is still an unsolved mystery.
However, similar phenomena are emerging in various parts of the world.
Some people regard them as disasters, while others call them auspiciousness.
But no matter which one they are, the occurrence of these phenomena is related to their own genes.
Lin Mengya didn't think that with the current technology, there would be any breakthroughs at this level, so she preferred the consequences of drug modification.
But right now, it has not been confirmed.
Probably after seeing how gentle she was to her four children, the old lady's eyes gradually became gentle.
In fact, handing over the cubs is a disguised form of surrender for them.
At the same time, Lin Mengya also discovered that the old lady's language function had not completely deteriorated, so she tried to communicate with the other party.
"Can you tell them to stop attacking us?"
Lin Mengya pointed at the ten adult savages who looked directly at her, and repeated the gestures several times before the old lady nodded.
She made several short sounds towards the ten people.
Those ten people seemed to listen to the old lady's words. This kind of respect for the "elders" is actually a manifestation of progressive human nature.
After all, in a real beast group, old beasts are actually marginalized or even abandoned existences in the group.
It seems that their humanity has not been completely wiped out.
Ten people lowered their heads to show their submission to her.
Lin Mengya then restored their ability to move, and by the way, she also sent the quiet little girl back.
Seeing that their companions had returned safely, two of the adult savages immediately jumped over, pulled the little girl back, and looked at her body up and down, as if checking whether the child was injured.
The simple clothes they wore could not completely cover their bodies. They were so exposed in front of everyone that the men she brought unconsciously avoided them.
Fortunately, the cloth towels brought by Han Ye were large enough. Lin Mengya asked someone to boil a pot of warm water, then wet the cloths and give the children a good scrubbing.
By the way, I also gave them some deworming medicine.
The little babies must have never felt so comfortable. They all looked at her with bright eyes and a little dependence on the little cubs.
She touched their heads one by one, then patted their butts, indicating that they could go find their families.
The four cubs looked back at her reluctantly, but still crawled to the adult's side on hands and feet.
These four little cubs who "left and then came back" allowed Lin Mengya to successfully dispel the hostility of those people.
They even looked at her with the same sparkling eyes, as if they wanted her to clean them up like she did with cubs.
Lin Mengya's mouth twitched, tut, don't even think about it!
But she still handed over the deworming medicine, then caught the little girl and sprinkled some on the back of her neck.
The little girl now no longer had any hostility to resist her, and this action had been done to her before. For some reason, the places she felt itchy were not itchy at all now.
When the others saw this, they all took it and poured some powder on the backs of each other's necks.
After a while, there were many different kinds of small insects on the ground.
Fortunately, Lin Mengya doesn't have trypophobia, otherwise she would be prone to nightmares.
At this time, she was already chatting with the old lady.
The two of them communicated in dialect while making gestures. Lin Mengya really got a lot of information, and she even touched the old lady's bones.
It turned out that this old lady who looked like she had white hair was actually less than forty.
The torches they brought also attracted the attention of the young savages. However, compared with the fear of the young savages, the old lady was not afraid at all.
Lin Mengya also learned intermittently that the old lady was not actually a savage at the beginning. Perhaps it could be said that she was the last of the group of people from the Xu family who were captured.
But she was only seven or eight years old at that time, and she only remembered some hazy memories in her mind.
She didn't remember why she came here. She only remembered that after arriving here, they were locked in a huge cage.
"Happy New Year 2024! Thank you for your companionship in the past year. I will continue to work hard in the new year! I love you!"
